Check out Crush Slavery News, and contact me if you're gonna join us next year, in Martin Place, or Sydney Airport, or wherever you want! We want to make this a viral craze like planking or extreme ironing.
The campaign of 10,000 push-ups raised awareness about human trafficking, slavery, and forced prostitution, reaching 70,000 people directly and 750,000 in print. Show your support by learning more about the problem, and the many ways we can fight it, while sharing what you learn with your friends. Together, we can crush slavery!
What will you do to stop Human Trafficking & Slavery?
